Recall 1992057

The issue

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE WALL OF THE END CAP CONNECTING THE HEAT EXCHANGER'S CORE TO THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM COULD RUPTURE AND ALLOW HOT COOLANT TO ESCAPE. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN, SOME OF THE COOLANT COULD CONTACT THE DRIVER'S FEET, CAUSING INJURY AND STEAM UP THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, IMPAIRING VISIBILITY. CORRECTION: HEAT EXCHANGER WILL BE REPLACED.

Description (français)

Si le moteur surchauffe, la paroi du couvercle latéral qui sépare le faisceau de l'échangeur de chaleur du liquide de refroidissement peut se rompe et permette au liquide chaud de s'échapper. Si cela se produit, du liquide peut tomber sur les pieds du conducteur, causant des blessures et embuant l'intérieur du véhicule au point de réduire la visibilité.
